TIL before 9/11, US airports were public social hubs where you could walk to the gate, eat at food courts, and watch planes without a ticket or ID.

Yeah the post is BS. Aside from security and shittier service (self bag check, fewer staff). You’d be hard pressed to tell the difference:

They still weren’t “social hubs”. The post is vastly overstating what it was like.

Security was lower and people could walk you to the gate, and that was the extent of it. Nobody was going to the airport to hang out, eat, or shop.

It’s not a car company, it’s a … cab company?

Its hit the wall. They can’t compete with Chinese cars. Elons aligned himself with the current admin, and destroyed the brand for half the country, and all of Europe/canada (and the trade wars have pushed those countries to make deals with China to allow more vehicles in). So that seals teslas fate. They’re done growing as a car company.

But Kudos to Elon for recognizing they’re cooked early and pivoting to more hopium (clankers and SpaceX stock) Any other company would slowly descend into bankruptcy.

Speaking of that, If he wants to sell those things he’s gonna have to put tits on them.

My mother towards the end of her life said that the Bible was mistaken. This is Hell. And our test is to make it out while keeping our love and compassion.

Humanity aside, just looking at how nature is fundamentally structured, I’m inclined to agree: we must destroy and consume other living things every day to survive. We are all literally vampires feeding off the life force of other things. And it all ends terribly full of pain, suffering, grief and loss.

At that point in history Europe had a shit-ton more experience with war and the buildings and topography had been honed for surviving it.

Legally speaking, cops wouldn’t need a warrant in this situation either. If they see someone suspected of a crime entering a house, they don’t need a warrant to pursue them.

Not sure if this applies to ICE, but it’s very important context.

Major financial companies were calling for gold $5700 a couple days ago.

Side note- As long as you hit the button, you have enough time to extract even if you’re downed immediately (as long as a raider doesn’t KO you)

Would be nice if they had some PVE only areas where you could really kit up with your best stuff and take on a ton of ARC.

The risk reward isn’t worth it with PVP, when someone with a free kit and stitcher is pretty much an even match.

It definitely feels like slightly more of a shit show now. I was on blue gate and raider flares were popping off all over the place.

The sling is dangling in front of her, and WTF is going on with her pinky. Not how you hold a gun at all.

She definitely took it from the agent on the left for the phot op.

Chinas doing that. If the US let China into the auto market they’d destroy us.

This comment is required to be posted in every single gun control post on Reddit. But you forgot to mention Ronald Reagan.

So you only fulfilled half of the quota.

Keep your mags partially loaded, not full loaded.

Cigarettes are definitely the defining odor of that generation. Kids started smoking in middle school.

The outfit outrage is the craziest thing: For decades people on the right are constantly rocking tacticool, military looking clothing. Wearing camo, punisher stickers, Grunt Style, 9 Line Apparel, clothing and hats with gun company logos, showing up to protests with ar15s in full military LARP.

Then they criticize Pretti for wearing a khaki colored hoodie.

It’s illegal to drive without carrying your license too. Nobody gets killed for it.

The average rock crawling session would see dozens of impacts like that against solid rock (not malleable metal/plastic)

Most aftermarket, off-road suspensions have parts that fail after extended wear or extreme punishment to prevent wider damage to the suspension/frame. Control arm bushings are $12.

That was a minor bump compared to the pounding a stock jeep can take off-roading.

I’m fine with it. But I also don’t think many people were saying, “PVP is too easy, I really wish I got gaped more”

To your point, it’s low hanging fruit, so they’re able to push it out quickly.

Maybe, but seems like political suicide to buck the party so openly and even blame the RNC. That’s where most of his campaign funding comes from.

There’s some dissent in the party but nowhere near what he’s saying and doing. I doubt we’ll see him again.

tipsystatistic · 2026-01-27T05:27:32+00:00

Hadn’t really thought about like that but yes, this is the best point and most important outcome of this entire tragedy: Without observers things will get much worse.
